Draw the product of each of the following reactions:
(a)

Interpretation:
The product formed in the given reaction has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Pericyclic reactions are “ any concerted reaction in which bonds are formed or brocken in a cyclic transition state”. There is a single transition state from start to finish, in contrast to a stepwise reaction.
There are mainly three types of pericyclic reactions,
- 1) Pericyclic reactions
- 2) Cycloaddition reactions
- 3) Sigmatropic reactions
Woodward –Hoffmann rules are the set of rules used to vindicate or predict certain aspects of the stereo chemical outcome and activation energy of pericyclic reactions.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for pericyclic reactions are listed below
A photochemical reaction takes place when a reactant absorbs light and a thermal reaction takes place without the absorption of light.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for the configuration of pericyclic reactions are,

Answer to Problem 23P
The product of the given reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
Given reaction is,
Here in the compound in which the four methyl substituent point in opposite directions, then according to Woodward-Hoffmann rules, they will be “cis” in the ring-closed product when ring closure is conrotatory and “trans” in the ring-closed product when ring closure is disrotatory.
Therefore the structure of the product formed in the reaction is,
